Where KEYS is headed

Every silicon photonics interconnect Nvidia, Broadcom, and Marvell are pushing into their next-gen GPU racks has to be validated. Every PCIe Gen6 backplane, every CXL link, every chiplet-to-chiplet UCIe handshake. Keysight sells the equipment that confirms the signal works before the box ships. That is a quiet position to hold while the rest of the market argues about which AI chip wins, because Keysight gets paid either way.
